PREVENT FUTURE BREAK-INS with Window Film!

Downtown Grand Rapids Vandalism During Protest Saturday, May 30, 2020

Civil unrest that leads to community vandalism & looting; smash and grab burglaries; intruders who pose a threat to residences, schools and government buildings; bomb blast mitigation; earthquakes and other natural causes or disasters are all great reasons to protect a building with Safety and Security Film.

SAVE YOUR BUSINESS!

Glass doors and windows are among the most vulnerable points of entry into businesses and pose as one of the greatest dangers when the glass is broken. Securing your building with Security Film:

Increases security and provides added protection against the crime of vandalism and smash and grab burglaries.

Mitigates hazards from shattered glass due to natural and human causes.

Helps provide protection to people and property from flying glass in natural disasters.

With the gracious support of our clients we were able to donate and distribute over 500 meals!

With the help of the amazing KO Kitchen’s Chef Jilote and Villa Pizza #1, we were able to give back to a City who has always had our back since 1989. We are extremely thankful to everyone who donated, shared our posts, and got the word out to our community.

We are so proud of our Grand Rapids community and our front line workers. Five Star felt it was imperative to take action and give back to the people making such a sacrifice and difference during this COVID 19 crisis. To date we have been able to donate and distribute just over 500 meals to these local heroes.

Our city isn’t in the clear yet, we are all in this together. As our city begins to open up and adjust to the new normal that lies ahead – let’s all be mindful of those who have our back. Continue to respect social distancing and sanitizing until a scientific preventative or cure emerges.

It’s reviews like this that makes us love what we do!

A valuable barrier that buys precious time, installed correctly, Safety & Security Window Film and an Impact Protection Attachment System can help deter unwanted individuals from entering. Protecting buildings, businesses, schools and homes against break-ins, vandalism and even bomb blasts – this film and attachment system technology holds window glass together in the event of breakage. Glass that is more difficult to pass through can therefore buy extra time to help guard against active shooter events that have plagued our country.

School Security is our top priority! The 5-Star Team has been assessing and installing safety and security window film throughout the Midwest since 1989. Many of these assessments uncovered multiple deficiencies in the window film application by the competition. With all the confusion and misinformation about security film and the anchoring systems, we’re offering a free initial assessment of your school(s) window security posture.

5 Star installs state-of-the-art window film technology including 3M Safety & Security Protective Window Film where it is their motto to; “Be safe. Be secure. Be sure.”

S.A.F.E. is an initiative to raise national awareness of the causes and effects of school shootings.

For some insight into the police force mindset in dealing with the impact on the communities in which they serve – Guest Kyle Rehatchek discusses how school shootings have affected the local police force. At 3:04 minutes he talks about how window film “gives time…invisible protection.” To view – Click on the picture below:

Five Star Window Coatings offers a free safety and security assessment homes, businesses and most importantly schools. If you are concerned about the security & safety of your school or business please contact us! Security Window Film with a properly installed attachment system is barrier of invisible protection which in turn can provide precious TIME.

Watch this EPIC FAIL!

This video is an example of Security Window Film with an attachment system installed INCORRECTLY!

Securing a building with Security Film is the first step – but without the CORRECT attachment system the film is useless and a waste of money! Below is an example of 3M 8Mil Security Window Film with the proper attachment system installed by certified installers…..

Whether you are thinking about having security film installed, or if you have security film with an attachment system installed at your school or business already – ensure it’s installed per the manufacturers specifications. You should not live with a false sense of security. Five Star and Secure Education’s Jason Russell have evaluated many attachment systems and security film installs that have failed. Together we are offering a free initial assessment and evaluation of buildings with and without security film.
